Global Challenge: Health, Sustainability, and Emerging Media
I don’t want to be an engineer who works on chemical/nuclear plants or creates weapons of mass destruction and definitely not someone who sits behind a computer writing code. I want to create a more sustainable future, where we can fully recognize that “nature” is only a social construct created by the Industrial Revolution and that maintaining the environment does not just mean “preserving nature,” with parks and zoos, but also controlling the urban setting and development of our cities."
Bio:
My name is Angie and I am a senior studying Mechanical Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. I plan on pursuing both options of industry and academia post-graduation, continuing to strive for more knowledge and hands-on experience in product design and engineering management.
I want to work on developing sustainable, impactful technologies. I have multiple research experiences (UGSRP & MAE Fellowship) I have been lucky to be a part of, but I’ve fallen for the prototyping and development side of engineering after partaking in NYU Tandon’s Makerspace Prototyping Fund. I’ve gone on to do an internship with FLAMAID in Barcelona, Spain working as their Engineering Consultant where I had the freedom to truly take a product and innovate.
I also worked as Teacher Assistant for the Design, Invent, Innovate (DII) K-12 STEM program. At the end of the program some of the students came up to tell me they were strongly considering pursuing mechanical engineering and thanked me for my help and guidance. Inspiring others and fueling the young minds of future engineers, while also being one myself is my one of my greatest joy. I am honored to be a part of this community, as well as others.
I am a part of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Society of Women Engineers, Everyday Assistive Technology VIP, and the MLK Honors Program here at NYU. When I’m not at Tandon you’ll probably find me at a bookstore, drinking coffee and people watching! If you’d like to learn more, please feel free to reach out at aim9103@nyu.edu!
